A vicious race-hate knifeman, who killed a teenage Pole as he celebrated his girlfriend’s eighteenth birthday with a group of pals, could be back on the streets in just four years.
Dutch-born Alphonse Serges Kruizinga, 34,(pic.top) who lived in a squat in Clapton, East London plunged a blade into 19 year-old Marcin Belaszweski’s back after threatening the group on a bus.
He screamed: “Hitler should have killed more Polish people” before stabbing the victim outside Finsbury Park Underground Station, North London on May 8, last year.
Kruizinga was cleared of murder by an Old Bailey jury and given an indeterminate sentence for manslaughter – with a five-year minimum.
The year he has already spent on remand awaiting trial will be deducted.
Kruizinga had rowed outside his squat with friends of Marcin and followed the twenty-strong group on a bus – armed with a kitchen knife up his sleeve - goading them into a confrontation.
He followed them off the bus despite their requests to leave them alone and when Marcin’s girlfriend stepped forward to stop him he punched her in the face.
Construction worker Marcin – who lived with his family in Stamford Hill since moving to the UK five years ago - jumped in to protect the girl and was fatally stabbed by Kruizinga.
When arrested several days later he had a knife hidden up each sleeve and received a concurrent thirty-six month sentence, which will not add any additional custody time.
